First aid course The first minutes count. Know what to do.

In one day you learn to resuscitate, treat a wound and react correctly in an emergency. Everything hands-on with manikins, and you get a certificate at the end.

Why first aid

Until the ambulance arrives, the person closest is the one who helps.

It does not matter whether you are a doctor. What matters is knowing what to do in the first few minutes. That is why you spend most of the day practising with your hands on a manikin, not watching slides.

The course is for boatmen, companies, parents and anyone else.

First aid course: frequently asked questions

Who is the first aid course for?

Anyone who wants to know what to do in an emergency: ship crews, company staff, parents and individuals.

First aid basics, including resuscitation and wound care, and how to react quickly and correctly in an emergency. You practise everything hands-on with manikins and real-life scenarios.

How long does the course take?

One day, from 8:00 to 17:00.

When is the next date?

Scheduled dates: 17 Dec 2026. The course always runs on the same day as the first aid day of basic safety training, and you choose the place (Hlohovec or Děčín) in the application.

I have done basic safety training. Do I need this course too?

By bank transfer or in cash, no later than the day the course starts.
